Bailey was with Cheryl a week and a half, and I would not hesitate to use her again!”

I could tell from the pictures that Corey was having so much fun and was in very capable hands. I was able to totally enjoy my vacation. Thank you so much, Jackie!”

Not only did they follow our instructions for her basic care, such as food, medications, daily walks and play, but the whole family gave her so much love and attention. She is a very affectionate dog and they treated her as if she was their own. We were on a long trip overseas and Shauna’s daily communication and photos gave us such a peace of mind that our sweet pup was doing just fine. We feel so blessed to have found them and can not thank them enough for the perfect care they gave Gracie! We highly recommend Shauna and Peter to care for your dog. They are the best!”
About: I grew up on a farm, and ever since I was a little girl, I have always loved animals. I’m a grandma with plenty of free time, and I would love to welcome your dog into our family while you are away. Since my grandchildren visit, please let me know if your dog does not get along with kids. Currently, I have a Frenchie and a mini Schnauzer who is paralyzed. They love other dogs, but I do have baby gates to keep them separate if needed. Owning a paralyzed dog has taught me a lot over the past couple of years. If your pet requires any special care, i am more than happy to accommodate their needs. I am never gone for longer than couple hours at a time. I have a very open schedule so your pet with get lots of attention. I will welcome your pet into our family and treat them as if they were our own. Please share your dog’s daily routine, and I will follow it to ensure they feel at home. I understand how stressful it can be when an owner is away, so I’ll make sure to give your dog extra attention, exercise, and love to ease their anxiety and make their stay as enjoyable as possible. I have baby gates and can provide your dog with space away from kids and my dogs if needed. I will take your dog on walks and provide off-leash time in our backyard as well. If your pet requires medication, I am happy to administer it.
“Tricia was awesome! Her dogs are so cute & you can tell she really loves animals as this is all she does so her main priority is your babies. We got so many texts while we were away which we thought was amazing. Knowing our babies were happy & doing good made us feel really good about leaving them with her. They loved her & she loved them too & my little Bella was super tired when we got her back and napping all night which was such a relief. We can’t wait to have them stay with her again and I’m sure they’ll be excited too!”
“Shelby had a great time staying with Karin! Karin provided regular updates and pictures, and took great care of Shelby, I was very satisfied and will book with her again, thank you Karin!!!”
“Ashley took great care of our husky, Cleo. We got so many pictures and videos which was really appreciated! Ashley was very communicative throughout the stay. We would definitely board Cleo with her again and highly recommend her services to anyone looking for doggie daycare and boarding in the area!”

We will definitely book again and highly recommend Rachael to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!!”
About: I have been a cat mama for 14 years. My diva girl, Bean, made me a fur mama. Not only have I taken care of mine—which have had special needs and medications. I help take care of other families babies while they are away. Some say I’m the only one they trust!
“My partner and I are so grateful for Janet! She made our trip completely stress free with her high quality care and service. She took time to greet the cats before we left, and showed she was very sensitive to their needs and boundaries; the cats approved almost right away! During our trip, she kept us updated with pictures of their meals, medication, snuggles, and play time. Janet was also very confident and trustworthy in helping Nyx with her asthma inhaler! We came home to two very happy, comfortable cats, and we could not be more pleased with Janet's help!”
About: I have 19 years of experience volunteering with dogs and cats at three different area rescues. I currently volunteer at Project Hope Animal Rescue Foundation in Gilberts. I also worked for a petsitting service in Elgin for 5.5years, so I have experience with many different cats. I currently have two mixed breed dogs of my own and a cat that are all very happy and healthy!
“Laura did a wonderful job with Skylar. She is extremely conscientious; went above and beyond cleaning up a mess and watering plants. But most importantly, I was confident Sky was in good hands and having some fun play time too! Can't wait to use her services again!”
About: I am experienced in administering medicinal injections, nail trimming and teeth brushing of larger breeds, lifting 60+ lbs, pad and potty training, and assisting senior and special needs dogs. I currently work remote and spend most of the day with my own pup by my side. We go to the nearby dog park at least weekly, go on two 20-25 minute walks (1mi+) daily, and play regularly throughout the day. He is very friendly and happy to tag along for any walks or play times, if the company is welcomed. I have a large crate available, if needed, and an in ground stake in the front and back yard with 30ft leads attached, allowing for plenty of time outside in shaded and unshaded areas. Food bowls are cleaned after every meal and pet waste is cleaned up after every trip outside.
“Marie was wonderful. My cat Tony needed an insulin shot daily and she had no problem administering that. She sent cute daily pictures which were fun to see. I would highly recommend her!”
“Samantha was nothing short of amazing! We received daily photos and videos of our baby. She followed all of our instructions. We are so happy with her! We would definitely recommend Samantha and we will be using her again the next time we go out of town!”
“Jennifer did so great with our floofs! She took the time to get to know them and took pictures of the cuddles she got from them, which meant they were super comfortable with her!”

About: I am an animal lover, through and through. Dogs, cats, hedgehogs, birds… you name it. I treat my guest animals like my own and love on them as much as possible. I enjoy taking cute portraits of the pets in my care and I send lots of photos and written updates. I currently have a female Aussie/Pit mix, currently fostering a female Blue Doberman, and have had Doberman Pinschers in the past from puppies through old age until the rainbow bridge. I’m patient with puppies and elderly animals. I check to see which commands they know and how they have been trained to keep them consistent in my care, and have experience administering medications to them. Before joining Rover, I frequently dog and cat sat for friends and family. I am currently fully remote and based at home. I have a lot of flexibility to accommodate your pet’s schedule and needs. My schedule may change in the future but I will update my info when that happens. I have one female 7 year old Aussie/Pit Mix and one 2 year old foster female Doberman. I have a spare bedroom to host guests with their crates and belongings but during the day they are with me, within line of sight in my home. My yard is fenced (4ft) and only two steps to the yard from the door. There are no children living in my home. I live is a quiet neighborhood and can go for walks as needed.

“Yvette was terrific. We had a family gathering in the area and needed a place for our dogs to go during the party. Yvette took them in at her place and couldn't have been nicer. She was very friendly to Ozzie and Winston and when I came to pick them up later in the evening, she had them all ready to go. They seemed very comfortable at her house. I would definitely recommend her to anyone.”
About: I grew up with animals my whole life, from smaller dogs to big dogs such as Akitas. I have a dog of my own almost 10 years old that I trained and have taken care of and I have had 2 cats, currently have 1 cat now age 10! I've been a nanny for years and always helped with their animals as well, from walking them, feeding them and giving them medicine! Love animals so much and honestly always wanting to adopt more. I currently am a stay at home mom, I want to expand my home to people who need care for their animals. Help checking in on them or feeding them or even having them stay if you're traveling. I have a very nice home with an acre of land to let dogs play in. I’m comfortable with walking them as well too if they need exercise!
“Jackie is always accommodating to our needs for the dogs and if we are running a little late picking up. She provides pics of the dogs and takes them on walks! I like that she doesn’t take on a lot of dogs at once then Harley and Haven can get a lot of attention!”
“Can’t thank Dorene enough for taking my last minute request…. On an early Sunday morning! She was great and Rambo came back tired which can be hard sometimes as Rambo is an energetic bulldog! Thank you Dorene !!!”
“Jacqueline was a pleasure to work with to arrange daycare for Brutus. She was communicative; responded in minutes with very clear questions. She double checked that Brutus had all the necessary shots. I didn’t go inside, but from the outside the house looked perfect for dogs in a nice neighborhood with grass and a yard. Her two dogs in the house must have had great personalities, because Brutus came home exhausted from playing. Thanks again, Jacqueline! I’ll message you next time.”
“Jennifer did a great job making our dog, George, comfortable while we were away. He was happy & well taken care of, & we would definitely have George stay again in the future!”

“Simba ( American bully mix) and Kekas ( yorkie) had their first walk with Natalie a week ago and it went really good. Her experience with dogs is notable. I have a large and small breed dogs and she handled them very well. Simba is a 60 pounds puppy and I am super impressed how she handled his excitement and reinforce his training. Looking forward to many walks and drop ins. Thanks Natalie 😊💜”
“Alphonse is the best! He came today even though it was so cold. Had I known it was below 0 degrees I would have canceled today. Neither Alphonse nor my dog should have been out. They started their walk and Norma showed that she was cold and her paws were suffering. I’m so grateful that he had the good sense to bring her home before the scheduled end to her walk!”
About: I have 19 years of experience volunteering with dogs and cats at three different area rescues. I currently volunteer at Project Hope Animal Rescue Foundation in Gilberts. I also worked for a petsitting service in Elgin for 5.5years, so I have experience with many different types of dogs. I currently have two mixed breed dogs of my own and a cat that are all very happy and healthy! One of my dogs is reactive when on leash around other dogs, so I understand the patience that comes along with that behavior. In 2006, I acquired a dog training certification from Animal Behavior College. I am currently unemployed, so I am available most days and time. I am available for walks or drop-ins for feedings, playtime, cuddle time, etc. It is important for me to know about your pet's personality and routine. What commands does your pet know. Is there any ongoing training that you would like me to reinforce? I love going for walks, so if your pet would enjoy a walk, I would be happy to do that.
About: I have been around cats and dogs most of my life, and have had my own dogs for 10+ years. Right now I have three- a tiny Chihuahua, a medium Carolina mix, and a HUGE Rhodesian Ridgeback. I trained them myself and they are my whole world! I would be happy to work on some training with your dog, I really have a passion for it.💜 And he said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind." Matthew 22:37 I work full-time, so I'm mostly available in the evenings. I am usually off on Sunday and Monday or Sunday and Friday so I have more time on those days. I can do whatever is required for each specific dog. I have no problem getting dogs in and out of crates, walking any size dog while working on leash manners if desired by the owner, feeding and playing, whatever your pup needs!
“Thank you for walking amber again. She is always so excited to walk with someone other than me and she loves it when you take her to the park. Hope you continue to enjoy Amber”
“Jennifer is absolutely wonderful, so attentive and thoughtful with our pup. She’s the perfect peace of mind to know our pup is happy, safe and having a great time. Her communication is superb and her kindness is unmatched. So grateful for her!”
About: I grew up with dogs and have had dogs my whole life until a few years ago. After I lost my beagle and pittie, I wasn’t ready to get another dog right away so I decided to join Rover so I could still be surrounded by dogs. They bring so much joy to the day. I love to see all of the different personalities of each dog I watch. They are all special and unique in their own way. If I get the opportunity to watch your dog I will make them feel like a queen or king. I have a fenced in yard so your dog will get to be outside most of the day if they want. I also enjoy walking so if your fur baby likes walks i am able to walk them 2-3 times per day. I always follow the rules of your home. And want their days to be as similar as possible to when they are home. If they sleep in your bed at home they are welcome to sleep on mine too!!! I will give your dog a lot of love and attention in a safe environment. They may even get a little spoiled like going to grandmas house. I have the flexibility to walk and let the dogs outside I sit. I can walk two to three times per day. The dogs I sit are not alone very often. I currently don’t have other pets. This is the first time in my life without a dog and miss having a dog around. I would love to take care of your dog and make my home their home away from home.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. Even though I’ve never owned one personally, I’ve always been the first to step into ‘owner mode’ whenever a puppy or dog needed love, attention, or comfort. Animals have a special place in my heart, and I genuinely enjoy giving them affection, patience, and care. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away :) I’m currently working part-time and also in school, so my weekly schedule can vary. However, I’m typically available on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, and I often have open availability during weekdays as well. I’m flexible and can usually adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your instructions closely and keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible. I’m gentle, patient, and very attentive to each animal’s comfort level. I make sure food, water, and potty breaks are handled safely, and I always keep doors and gates secure. I also send updates and photos during every visit so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away :))

“Sabrina and her husband were great! We got pictures daily, multiple times a day of our fur babies. She communicated with me on how they were behaving and eating as my male dog does not eat well when he is not with us. They were taken on walks daily and seemed overall happy with their stay, We will be using Sabrina again in the future.”
About: I started working with dogs since I was 10 years old through 4-h dog training. Since aging out of 4-h I have been working at doggy daycare and boarding facilities. This gave me the skills to work with any breed and size of dogs. Im currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups. They will have plenty of play time and down time. They will be individually let out to potty for easy monitoring and have individual play time. Extra cuddles during these times are a definite and maybe some extra treats too.
